clr-man-pages VS nixos-hardware

Thanks for the reply! I agree, it's probably important to ask what "stateless" really means. My understanding based on the Clear Linux man page (https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-man-pages/blob/master/stateless.7.rst) is that one important aspect is the strict separation between system defaults and user configuration. For example, in Clear Linux the user can empty /etc and reboot to restore the system defaults. How would I restore the default configuration in NixOS? By removing the relevant parts in configuration.nix and re-running the package manager?

Always useful to look at the seemingly endless stream of Linux information, the Arch wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_ROG_Zephyrus_G14_(2022...

Also NixOS has a nixos-hardware repository with configurations for some laptops:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/zep...

Reasonably legible if you ever programmed anything

{ imports = [ # Include the results of the hardware scan. ./hardware-configuration.nix # Additional hardware specific configuration # https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware ];

You could try this repo for hardware support on various laptops if yours is on it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Btw, for starters, I think you can learn a lot by checking other's configurations and from things like https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware. There are a lot of useful/essential configurations that are not enabled by default.

in that case do note that this module assumes you use nixos-hardware, otherwise you can remove lines 161-165. I can also send you my VM's libvirtd .xml file when you get around to creating it.

My computer is a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with a dual GPU setup (AMD iGPU + Nvidia DGPU) where I'm using a "hybrid mode" configuration provided by nixos-hardware, using PRIME offload.

Not too long ago nixos-hardware changed the default Xorg driver for AMD to modesetting from amdgpu.
